if they're the same as chevrolets, '69-'70 are the same, '65-'68 are different.
the clutch pedal stops face opposite directions.

274 convertible 2+2's made in 1970.  The word on the street is that there were only 4 with 454's.  Most of the rest had 300 hp 350's.  A few had 265 hp 400's, and a few had 350 2 bbl's (can't remember the hp rating).

1329 hardtop 2+2's made in 1970.  The word on the street is there were 40 with 454's.

While most 70 2+2's had vinyl interiors, some had cloth "Houndstooth" interiors.  It's very similar to 69 Camaro houndstooth, just a shade darker.

Clint, whatever happened to Larry Kosek's car?  For the rest of the guys, that is one of the four 454 verts.  It came out of Lethbridge originally I believe.  It is even "red" (carousel redwink) like Steve's car.  It was the cover car on Smoke Signals a few years ago, I will have to see if I can find that issue.

BTW 350 2bbl was rated at 250hp.

Am I right in thinking it would be easy to convert the early to later style?

it appears if you heat and bent the pedal stop in the opposite direction, it should work fine.
'65-'68 pedals would be easier to find...
